Abstract: The European Union's 21st sanctions package against Russia, adopted on 23 July 2026, strengthens the protection of European operators facing proceedings before Russian courts. Against the background of the Reibel case, which remains pending before the Court of Justice of the European Union, Thematic Review No. 8/2026 of the Russian Supreme Court and proceedings concerning the enforcement of an arbitral award of nearly EUR 214 million, sanctions litigation reveals a confrontation between two legal architectures that are increasingly being constructed in opposition to one another. This article examines the practical implications for compliance and international litigation professionals.
